Oh. Wow.

You might want to read this whole post! SO much has happened in the past 10 days since I last posted. To start with, Addilyn is growing so so much. She is in the midst of a growth spurt...Here are some pictures of these past 10 days.
A very very stinky diaper. In case you forgot what they were like...
 Hanging out outside on our little porch at our apartment.
 Full of smiles!! All of these pictures were taken with our fancy new smart phones!
 She is one strong cookie.
 Cabo with his new favorite treat.
 For my birthday (yes, even I forgot it was too...) we went to dinner at the Village Tavern. And yes, it was also a bar. But wow was it good! The restaurant is apart of Reynolda Village which used to be a plantation. The restaurant and many other stores were where the servants used to be. We took a walk up to the main house which is now a museum. It was huge!
 Massive tree that had vines and bushes growing all up it. There were fire flies jumping up in the grass.
 Beautiful terraces and gardens.




That was all for those birthday photos. In case you were wondering, I hit the big 22! Yes I know, I've been married nearly 3 years and have a daughter- I like to start early :)
 About to go house shopping for the first time!
 Grocery shopping for the missionaries coming over for dinner.
 Hanging out with her dog Cabo.
 Perfect round head.
 8 weeks old. She's a mover and a groover!


 These two pictures are just to show how moods swings really work.
And for the big news...We're buying a house! (or at least in the process) Yesterday we went under contract for this amazing home. Cross your fingers the inspection will pass, which we're sure it will.
 Some details about this beauty: it sits on 1/2 acre, obviously fenced for Cabo, sweet tree house. The deck off of the back of the house is brand new, along with several other important features (like the roof!)
It's a cape cod style home. The upstairs is the master bedroom with a full bath, closet, and study. The main floor has the living room, kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms, and a full bath. The kitchen has brand new appliances.
The downstairs basement is finished. We'll turn one of the rooms into a movie/playroom. The second room down there will be converted to our storage. It also has a basement garage which is to the right of the house from this picture above.

I'm super excited to post the progress of this house when we move into it. We are excited to start making something our own. After 3 years of living in apartments, we finally get our own place! We can paint the walls and not get charged!!
